Vintage Postcard
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: susanbri

 For this week's CAS challenge "Holiday Sparkle", the Merry Monday challenge "Winter Wonderland" (http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge...nderland.html), Virginia's View "All Things Distressed" including using Distress inks (http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogsp...10-guest.html), and the Mixed Media Challenge "Home" (http://themixedmediacardchallenge.bl...+Challenge%29). My mixed media are: ink, watercolour paints, Glossy Accents, glitter with glue, and Frantage embossing enamel.

I stamped the image on watercolour paper, used watercolour paints for the house, sky, holly, and oval border, then sponged the outside section first with Antique Linen, and then darker on the edges with Brushed Corduroy.

The sparkle on the sky and ground is from Frantage White Embossing Enamel - sprinkled on and heated from underneath. I did the sparkle on the rooftops using an old kind of dried up glitter glue which made it quite textured and then glitter sprinkled on it. The holly berries are nice and shiny with Glossy Accents on them.

Lovely card! I really like all that snow...well, at least on your postcard. I'm not so fond of it in real life.

BEAUTIFUL and nostalgic Christmas card, Susan. Love how you watercolored the scene and then added the sparkling snow.
